Why Lucy quit
There I was sitting in a fancy office overlooking the skyline of Zurich, traveling for work and running from meeting to meeting. I was living the dream I'd always longed for.
I could not stop thinking, “Is this really it…?! Is this what I dreamed my life would be like working for a prestigious international company?”
I’m Lucy Fritsche - one of your 90 Day Divas.
All I wanted was to work for an international company, travel the world for business, and meet new and exciting people while making sure the product I was working on was making a positive impact on the market.
My family and friends celebrated me for landing this great job opportunity that looked like a lot of fun. I kept getting job promotions, organised bigger events and worked alongside superstars. It felt like a dream.
But inside I felt like there must be something more meaningful out there for me. Something that I can make an actual a positive change.
Then one day I realised I was totally ‘over’ running from meeting to meeting, waiting for management to make a decision and never really knowing if and how our team could continue with our projects. I felt trapped and not able to make the impact I was longing to see. Then it hit me - I was meant for more!
I always had this feeling deep down that one day I would be running a business and creating a working culture that I was excited to be in.
I took a deep breath and decided to quit my job and follow my dream of starting my own business! I pretty much quit not knowing what my new business would look like. But I was certain that it will fulfill me more, I would be able to work from anywhere and I wouldn’t need to ask permission to go on holiday or take a few days off to go see my family (who lived on the other side of the world).
It was hard, I felt alone and not really understood by my friends and family. They all thought I was crazy to quit this great job and to go off not knowing what my next job might be.
I then got a business coach who supported me along my journey of setting up my own business. This was a GAME CHANGER! She got me and my vision and supported me along the way.
Now I’m 5 years down the road. I feel very proud of what I have achieved, I earn more than I did at my corporate job and I have the pleasure of seeing the impact I make with my two businesses.
If you’re reading this and feeling like there’s MORE out there for YOU too, feeling like you just can’t take another day of your J.O.B. but you’re not sure where to start, let’s hop on a call together and sort out how you can start your dream life too.
